The issue it seems is in word choice not ultimate meaning.Taohttp://www.taowow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-82886835011118098962009-10-28T14:16:33.497-07:002009-10-28T14:16:33.497-07:00I've never seen that exact translation and it ...I've never seen that exact translation and it does leave an open end. Ultimately we don't know and can't know so any Religion or Science fact is a smelly fish. <br /><br />As long as we get by with ideas that are open and that make no grand claims. As noted in the HHC 'to lean on one thing for long enough it will soon crumble'. <br /><br />If you say to a religious person that their story contains holes they complain. If you point out to a scientist that their theory is just that and has no real facts. It sounds to them (at least from the reaction I get) as if you are saying you know better. And what I'd take from Chuang here is that the only 'knowing better' is this fact that we can never in this form know it all. Nothing absolute. <br /><br />Isn't it often referred to as a cup attempting to hold the ocean or something? Better as you noted with the post recently to just open up, empty the bowl and see a grater unity. <br /><br />Anyway I hope you post more Chuang.Taohttp://www.taowow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
